Imagine landing in a foreign country where you cannot speak the language, understand the culture and don’t know anybody. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a friend who could help you out?
John Smith, an English explorer who landed in America in 1607, found the best friend ever. She was a Native American named Pocahontas (1595-1617). And she did more than teach Smith the language: she saved his life, twice.
Smith was captured(捕捉) by members of Pocahontas’s tribe(部落) and was going to be killed. But for some reason, the Chief’s daughter, Pocahontas, felt sorry for Smith (who was probably the first white man she had ever seen) and threw her body over his to protect him. Smith returned safely to the small village he was living in. During the winter the English settlers did not know how to get food from nature. Pocahontas often brought food for Smith and his friends.
A year later Pocahontas’s father tried to kill Smith again because the Native Americans were very scared the English would try to take over their land. Pocahontas warned him and he was able to escape. Later she became a Christian and eventually married an Englishman named John Rolfe. She spent the last year of her life in London. Pocahontas has become an American legend. Her life story has been re-created in many books and films, including Disney’s 1995 film, Pocahontas.
One of the reasons she is so popular is that many Europeans look at Pocahontas as an excellent example of how a minority can adjust into the majority. Pocahontas is also respected because of her selfless love. She proved that people can be kind and loving even to people of a different race or culture. John Smith was very different from Pocahontas but she could see he was a good man and that was all that mattered. No race or country owns goodness, love and loyalty.
小題1: What difficulties might early European settlers meet in America EXCEPT ___________?
A．the fierce conflict with Native Americans
B．lack of food in winter
C．bad-tempered natives who enjoyed killing
D．unfamiliarity with a foreign land
小題2: Pocahontas saved John Smith twice because ___________.
A．she believed in general kindness even to people of a different race
B．she wanted to become a Christian and marry an English
C．he was the first white man she had ever seen in her life
D．she was on the settlers’ side and against her cruel father
小題3:Which is Not an element to make Pocahontas a legend?
A．Her tribal background and her marriage to a white settler.
B．The recreation of her life story in the 1995 Disney film.
C．Her complicated life story different from common people’s
D．Her selfless help to people regarded as enemy of her tribe.
小題4:What can we infer from the passage?
A．People from different cultures can never really get along well with each other.
B．The Europeans think the early settlers should have learned to adjust to the local cultures.
C．The creation of America is based on the settlers’ victory over the Native Americans.
D．The battles between early settlers and Native Americans resulted from their fighting for land.

China in the 21st century is making great progress in space technology. In 2003, the country sent up the manned spacecraft Shenzhou-V. Four years later, Chang’e-I went into orbit (軌道) around the moon. In 2008 a Chinese man did the country’s first spacewalk.
These achievements would have been unthinkable without the contribution of Qian Xuesen, a key scientist on space programs and rocketry (火箭技術(shù)) of the People’s Republic of China. This pioneering scientist passed away in Beijing on October 31 in 2009 at the age of 98.
Once called “the father of our space industry”, Qian began working on China’s missile and space technology in 1956, when China had little technology. When asked by General Chen Geng whether the Chinese could develop their own missiles, Qian said Chinese could do anything that foreigners could.
His research helped lead to the explosion of China’s first atomic bomb (原子彈) in1964, as well as to its first man-made satellite in 1970 and its first manned spacecraft in 2003.
Qian was born in Shanghai. He graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University in 1934.Then he studied in the US at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and later at the California Institute of Technology. During World WarⅡ, Qian’s research contributed to the development of rocket technology that the US military (軍隊(duì)) began using in the 1940s. He was once prevented from leaving the country because it was decided that he knew too much about certain military matters. It was not until in 1955 that Qian returned to China with the help of the late premier Zhou Enlai.
“I plan to do my best to help the Chinese build a nation where they can live with dignity (尊嚴(yán)) and happiness, ” Qian told reporters before sailing for China in 1955. The great scientist devoted all his life to keeping the promise.
小題1: What is the article mainly about?
A．It gives a short history of Chinese missile and space programs.
B．It is about how Qian contributed to the Chinese space program.
C．It lists important events that Qian experienced.
D．It is a brief introduction to Qian, a famous Chinese scientist.
小題2:. Which statement about Qian is TRUE?
A．He was born in China and brought up in America.
B．He went to America for further study after graduation from university.
C．He returned to his hometown right after finishing his education.
D．He had worked on missiles in the US military before coming back to China.
小題3:Qian was personally involved in many historic events in China EXCEPT       .
A．the first spacewalkB．the first man-made satellite
C．the development of missilesD．the explosion of an atomic bomb
小題4: From the article, we can conclude that       .
A．the US military had hoped to take full advantage of Qian’s talent
B．Qian had an important position in the US military in the 1940s
C．when World War broke out, Qian was studying at Shanghai Jiaotong University
D．it was not easy to get Qian back from the US

Once a circle lost a piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete（不完整的）, it could only roll very slowly. It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine along the way. It talked with worms. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on looking for the missing piece.
Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It put the missing piece into itself. It could be whole, with nothing missing. It was so happy and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see flowers or talk to worms. It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad that it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled away slowly.
Sometimes we are perfect when we lost something. A man who has everything is a poor man in some ways. He will never have hopes, dreams or something better. He will never know someone is loving him or someone is giving him something he has always wanted or never had.
We couldn’t be perfect, but we must be brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, kind enough to share happiness with others and clever enough to know there is enough love around us and then we can always live a wonderful time in our lives.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Brenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl. She had one big ambition—to play the drums in a band. But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.
One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.
With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套設(shè)備） and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.
It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.
Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ''If those old people next – door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.''
小題1:Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?
A．Because she didn't want others to hear her play.
B．Because she didn't mean to disturb others.
C．Because she didn't have her own room.
D．Because she didn’t like her neighbors.
小題2:Brenda started to give concerts _______.
A．a(chǎn)fter she practiced in her space bubble
B．when she became part of the unique space journey
C．a(chǎn)fter she became a real musical astronaut
D．when people came to see her in the space bubble
小題3:Brenda became famous because _______.
A．she was good at music and science
B．she became a real musical astronaut
C．she invented a special way of practice
